Chapter 37
I've Seen It All
The day we slept in the snow, I had a dream.
This dream, this event from the past had been giving me bipolar symptoms. I just didn't know how to feel about it or what to even say about it.
I could still remember the emotion turning, frightening dream.
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
I could feel sun rays against my skin. That wasn't good. If I didn't move, I'd burn to a crisp. I opened my eyes, realizing I lay on a sidewalk. I hopped up quickly and gazed about. This places, with people wandering, shops being entered and left, big smiles, and a bright sun... It reminded me of Destiny Islands.
But how did I get here? And why was I standing in the sun and feeling nothing? Had my plan worked? Had I found access into Destiny's mind?
Yes!
That's where I had to be! But where to start looking for Amethyst? And why did Destiny have thoughts of towns? Was there something deeper to this? Whatever it was, I'd have to be very careful when figuring it out. This was somebody's head I was in and even the slightest bit of meddling could change Destiny entirely.
Suddenly, a gust of wind passed me by. I stumbled back on my feet and grimaced to see where it'd come from.
My eyes bulged out of their sockets when I saw her.
The resemblance was so impossible, I could never understand why she denied her younger self. Unless she had a twin who was running around in the uniform of the school on Destiny Islands. Whether it be a twin or the real one, she always did look cute in plaid miniskirts.
"Hurry up Ryder!"
Ryder? It couldn't be that--
"I'm coming Desy!"
That was his voice. But she couldn't have gone back! Not after what he'd done to us!
I turned in time for the bastard to run right through me. As I expected, I was invisible in this place. I whisked around, prepared to see the face of the douche that had taken her from me.
The only difference between us was his slightly, spiky crimson red hair and his Sora-like eyes. Apart from that, the shape of his face and features, the skin, even the body were mine.
What.
The.
Hell.
Seriously.
"Why are you rushing anyway?" He asked. "They aren't calling us, are they?"
There it was again! That "They" talk. Who the hell are They!? What was so important about these guys that everyone who seemed to know anything about them had to keep it a secret?
"Nope," Destiny said with a pop of the P. "I just want to get to the Island."
"Why?" He groaned. "We've got one just like it at home."
Home? Where was this "Home"? Was that where "They" were? And why would there be duplicates of islands at home? Wasn't that just a bit creepy?
"But this one is real!" Destiny cried, yanking on her thigh-high socks. "They probably have a bunch of seashells there. Real ones too!"
"Don't say that Destiny!" Ryder demanded in a harsh whisper. He moved closer to her, too close for my own personal liking.
"When you call our home fake, that means you're calling us fake."
Destiny's eyes lowered in shame. She shouldn't have had to feel bad! She didn't do anything wrong! I mean the guy right beside her was not only an identity thief but he'd also shot somebody! ME!
"I'm sorry, Ryder," she whispered. "I didn't mean to. Sometimes, I just forget. I mean, They tell us that we're real and we have a purpose but Ryder... I'm the eighteenth of my kind. One can only be real so many times. You and Cedric, you guys were the first."
"They had to put more work into you Destiny," he placed a hand on her shoulder; I wished he hadn't. "I mean, look at all the great lengths they had to go through to create you. You may not have been the first, or the second, or even the fifteenth but Destiny, you are just as valuable as me and Cedric."
"Just like how you're as real as any human or immortal," Destiny smirked.
Ryder blushed. Douche. "R-right!"
I hated this.
I hated all of this stupid, vague talking and how this was a secret for them. I hate knowing and seeing that Destiny found someone who'd used my looks to comfort her. I hated that this idiot got to have her all to himself and I had to freaking share! I didn't care if I sounded like a whiny little kid, I was pissed.
"But you know..." Her soft voice caught me off guard. But once I heard it, I was soothed.
"It's good being what we are."
"It does feel good to feel superior," the power-hungry bastard chortled. "Even if it's only for a little while."
"I like it because of what we get to do," Destiny's eyes seemed to glisten when she talked about this mission. It made me want to know what she got to do even more. "I like being 'The Butterfly'."
Butterfly? Like, the bugs with the wings? Exactly why would anybody like being a bug with wings? Maybe this girl really wasn't Destiny. My Destiny didn't seem like the type to trade immortality to be a creature that probably had a lifespan of a week.
"Wait till you get to use those wires," Ryder tossed his arm around her shoulders which brought back my anger. "I can picture it already. You'll stand at the podium arms out, then call out to your children. They'll all come crying 'mama, mama' and attach to those cables with ease. Before you know it, you'll really get to take flight."
What was this loser talking about? Destiny didn't have any kids. And she couldn't just make random wires pop out of her unless it was really Amethyst. Hmph, this jerk didn't know a damn thing about my girlfriend.
"You only know that because you were there when Masters were telling me my purpose!" She laughed and gave him a push. He laughed along with her and I wanted to vomit.
"I remember that day," His smile was emollient. "The day they told us there was a new pro--"
"What are you two lovers up to?"
"No!" I exclaimed, clenching my fist. "God damn it! I was about to know what they freaking are!" I growled but forced myself to calm down. I knew my temper tantrum couldn't be heard or seen but I did need to keep my composure if I was going to find out information on Destiny or at least where Amethyst was residing.
So my eyes focused in a new character. A blond-haired and aqua eyed boy who gave off more of a Riku essence. Clearly, just another identity thief. He was also in the school uniform, blue and white plaid pants with a white long-sleeved shirt- or short-sleeved in Ryder's case -and the infamous plaid tie.
"Cedric!" Destiny ran from Ryder and leaped into the open arms of her friend. Seeing the dismay on Ryder's face brought happiness to mine. Also, I felt a bit safer when she was in his arms rather than the red-head's.
"So what are we doing today?" Cedric asked.
"Destiny wants to go to the beach," Ryder answered.
"Not anymore," The raven-haired girl winked. "Let's explore the town. I mean, we still haven't really gotten the chance to look around."
"True..." Cedric nodded. "Besides, watching Riku isn't as exciting as I expected. Except when he's beating Sora of course."
They knew Sora and Riku? H-How!? When had they met them? Neither Riku or Sora had ever brought these people up!
"Shut up!" Ryder gave Cedric a punch in the arm which didn't seem to have any effect on the taller boy. "Sora's just as good as Riku!" It was strange that somebody so cruel was defending someone like Sora.
"You're just saying that because of your atomization," Cedric leered. Once again, I was lost.
"You're using the same reasons for favouring Riku!" Ryder cried.
"I don't get that," Destiny mumbled. "Cedric is equal to Riku and Ryder to Sora but what about me?"
The two males shared an obvious look between themselves before turning to Destiny with the same appearance.
"Kairi," they said at once.
Destiny raised an eyebrow, "I don't think so. I mean, we're nothing a like. Kairi is so... Helpless. It bothers me. In fact, I hate her."
Both guys shared another look but this one was of confusion and a bit of worry. Even I had to join in. Destiny and Kairi were like best friends. Well actually, more like a girl and her favourite doll but the two were close. My Destiny would never say something so cruel so bluntly, especially after all that Kairi had done for her.
"Do you want an injection before we go?" Ryder asked, taking Destiny's arm.
"I've got the stuff in my bag," Cedric gestured toward the dark blue backpack he'd set on the ground before hugging Destiny.
"N-no way!" She exclaimed, retracting her hand. "I don't need any of that junk!"
"She's lying!" Ryder stuck an accusing finger at her. "Quick Cedric! Give her the drugs!"
Cedric laughed as he picked up his bag. "Maybe later. But right now, I want to go and explore."
Destiny cheered while Ryder sighed.
"You're no fun."
xXx
For the next who-knows-how-long, I watched and followed the three in hopes of hearing more information on Destiny. Instead, I had drops and drops added to my already full cup of hatred for Ryder. It was like he knew I was watching and just wanted to piss me off by touching Destiny.
But I was feeling much better when they'd gone to the house they were staying in. An elderly woman whom they just called "Mon-Mon" was to be watching them. Apparently, even she knew their past and basically aloud them to do as they pleased as long as they followed the rules of their "Masters".
So, I'd followed Destiny to her room, which strangely looked the exact same as the one she had in our world but with a simpler bed. I was sitting on it watching in wonder and listening attentively as she hummed and sang to "Simple and Clean." Heh, must have been time to practise. I felt honoured to be the only one who could listen to it. I mostly felt this way because it was basically something that cocky jerk Ryder couldn't take away from me.
Destiny came by her bed and took a seat beside me. She was much cuter in the plaid pink pyjamas she was wearing. Of course it helped that this Destiny was just so innocent it was disturbing. I loved how wide the crystal blue eyes were. She always looked like she was curious.
Destiny hugged her legs close to her chest and sighed. Was something wrong? Could I fix it? But... How? She couldn't even see me. I'd tried grabbing her attention but all I could do was walk through things in this form.
There was a click of the door and both me and my girl stared in the direction. I cussed once Ryder walked in.
"Hey," he said simply.
"Hi," Destiny responded.
"Leave," I muttered under my breath. I stood up and walked to the other side of the room. Like I wanted to be close to that jackass.
"You seemed a bit off today," he said, taking a seat by her.
"I've just been thinking." Ah, the usual Destiny response.
"About?" Don't push her into an answer you idiot! She'll tell you when she's good and ready.
"Ven." Maybe not what I wanted to hear but I liked that answer better than her saying Ryder.
"Why?" Ryder sounded disgusted. "You shouldn't have to worry about him or anybody."
"I can't help it," she said. "It's getting better. The nightmares have stopped."
"I'm glad," he leaned in close, clearly attempting to steal a kiss. I would cut him, if he kissed her. "But if they come back, I'll protect you."
"I don't need protection, Ryder!" Destiny cried. Typical Destiny, over dramatic and in denial. "I'm just like you too, remember? Whatever you can do, I can do too! Maybe not as well but I can still do it! Heck, with a bit of training, maybe I could do it better than you."
"You sure?" Ryder was smiling slyly. What the hell was he up to?
Destiny nodded.
And then he kissed her.
He kissed her so hard that they fell on her sheets. But he didn't stop, he pried her mouth open and stuck his tongue in so deep I could see her shocked eyes well-up with tears.
Fucking. Rapist.
"Let her go!" I shouted and pounced for the assaulter. My fingers outstretched when I thought I had him. The tips looked to brush against his skin but instead floated right through him. I let out a cry as my body followed the same motion. With a thud, I landed beside Destiny on her bed.
I watched their lips pull apart and cringed when I heard their breaths.
"I can take care of Destiny better than anybody," he said. "That's why after you complete your purpose, you have to be mine."
"Yours..." She was hesitant, good. My Destiny would never just agree so easily. Besides, he was wasting his time because she was mine. I'd worked hard for her and hell, I may have come into the picture later but she loved me. If anything, she only liked this guy. We'd gone through so much to be together and there was no way she'd just throw it all away.
"I'm not like Cedric..." He laughed. "But if that's what you want, all steal some toxins and inject them in myself."
"No, Ryder!" She wailed. What the hell? Why did she sound so upset... And why was she pouting!?
"I don't want you to change at all. I like Ryder as Ryder and nothing is going to change that. You're very special to me, did you know that?"
He shrugged, "How can I when there's Sora and--"
"No!" Her hands grabbed his black shirt and she yanked him close, for an undeserved kiss.
I leaped from the bed and crashed against the furniture of the other side of the room. It didn't move but I was trembling. I was stuck in this room watching the woman I love tangle herself up in another man's arms. It wasn't fair! She was mine! What kind of memory was this? Why would she show me this!? I had to get out of here, I ran for the door but it wouldn't budge. Maybe a window? I went for it but nothing worked there either. I slammed my fists against the walls but there was no sound.
"I love Ryder."
My head and eyes slowly fell on the image of Ryder and Destiny, holding on tight to each other.
"I love Ryder more than I love Sora, Ven, Cedric or any other guy that may come along! No matter what I say or do with anybody else, Ryder will also be my favourite."
How dare she.
How dare she say something like that. Who did she think she was!? How could she have lied so easily!?
...But.
Who was she lying to; him or me?
The ache that had just entered my chest told me not to try and figure it out. I just had to leave. I had to get out.
"We can make love, then?" Why would he ask her something like that? If he really loved her he wouldn't push it on her! Why would he force her to do something like that? Destiny had to be lying to this guy. We'd always been so close but never did it. Why? Because our love was real.
Destiny cringed, "But they told me my body is only for the Keyblade Master's use."
"But I'm partially like him," Ryder's hand stroked the top of her head. I clutched on to my chest. "And I'm your favourite."
She nodded slightly and threw her arms back. "So then it's okay."
A huge grinned emerged on his face and greedily, he took her. I covered my mouth in horror as they embraced and kissed. It wasn't okay. It wasn't okay at all! The more I was forced to taken in, the more pain I felt spread through my body. I couldn't take it but when I tried to shut my eyes, she'd moan and I'd be brought back to this awful reality before me. When I opened my eyes after hearing a faint scream I caught her glance. Those eyes were empty. So empty. I ran for her and outstretched my hand. If I could just touch her once, all of his sweat and drool on her body would disappear and once again, it would just be me and Destiny.
Her fingers were trembling when gently I placed my hand in her soft palm. This touch, the touch I cherished more than anything was so familiar. Doubts of this not being my Destiny had just floated away. Her eyes lightened and I saw a smile. Could she tell, did she know I was there?
Whatever she was smiling about, it made me happy. Everything was getting hazy; the room, his breathing. All I could picture, no, all I could see was the image of my body crouching down and her lying a couple inches above. She was smiling that smile that could bring warmth to the deadest heart.
"Thank you," I whispered. "For bringing back these feelings."
xXx
I didn't forgive her; I couldn't.
I would never forget that she had lost her virginity to somebody else and then forced me to watch. So when the stars were shining extra bright and she sneaked out of her room for the rest of the night, I followed her. I eyed her when she slipped into a hefty black sweater. I glared at her when she rowed all the way to the islands and kept the same glower when she sat sadly on the beach. I knew she couldn't hear me or see me but with how upset she seemed, it was like she knew how mad I was.
"I can't believe I did that," She whispered.
"Neither can I," I said with a roll of my eyes.
"Are you mad?" She asked. Weird, it was like she was talking to me. I knew it was to herself or maybe a voice only she could hear. But I felt the need to responded to everything she said.
"Mad as Hell."
"I'm supposed to wait for you but I'm worried you'll never come."
"I'm already here."
"I wish you could tell me all the plans you have for us," she sighed happily and smiled, eyes shut. "Where will you take me?"
"Wherever it is you want to go."
"What will we do there?"
"Whatever you want to do."
"What will we talk about?"
"Whatever you want to talk about."
"How many times will you tell me how you feel?" Her eyes opened slowly and watched the little waves of the ocean.
"I'll tell you every day," The blues of the water were dark, thanks to the lack of light. But the moon and the starts gave this place and the person on it a heavenly glow.
"I can't wait to be with you," She grinned. "It'll just be the four of us."
"Four of us," I sighed slightly and leaned back on my arms.
"Yes..." She clutched her fist against her chest. "You, me, Ven, and Xion."
"Hm." Honestly, I didn't know much about that whole ordeal. I knew though that I didn't like it when I felt like somebody else was moving for me. My body, mind, heart, and soul were my own and I didn't care who it was doing it, nobody was allowed to control me.
"But you know what I think?"
I chuckled, "I never do."
"I think that when we're whole, when we are completely ready, they will be able to show themselves and we'll meet them. They'll thank us for taking such good care of them and then they'll go be together. Then we can do the same. That's my plan. I know I'm not good but already... Already I want to be and need to be with you. So I'll find a way to do all this without hurting you and if you still want me, I'll go anywhere with you."
There was an expression of tenderness on my face. She couldn't see it but it was there.
"I'll take you there," I promised. "Even though you may not love me now, I will take you. Just tell me when you want to leave."
She blushed, "I'm happy. You make me really happy. I can't wait to be with you for real."

"And that's why I've been so off lately," I said after explaining my dream to Roxas. When I'd first asked her about it, she'd looked at me like I was crazy. And then she slapped me. Of course she would demand and explanation so I gave it to her. Being how stubborn she was, she still wasn't pleased with it.
"You should have told me earlier Roxy," She cooed and stroked my spikes. I knew what she was doing, getting my mind off things. She didn't want to talk about it so she would try to make me forget it. "You should have let me take care of you."
"Destiny, stop," I swiped her hand from my head and gave her a hard look. "I want answers. I have to know what is going on with you to really protect you."
"I keep telling you that that girl isn't me!" She frowned. "And I don't need any protection, Roxas!"
"Every time you tell me that, you get hurt five minutes later!"
"So?" She shrugged it off. "I'm clumsy. Besides, the time frame of your dream seems a bit off. How could I have known Sora and the others if you guys are much older than me... Not that you act it."
"That's what I'm trying to figure out," I rubbed my temples furiously. Frustration always brought a headache, didn't it?
"Listen," Destiny wrenched my hands from my head. "Do you want to just go home? Just you and me?"
"We can't..." She knew that. It wouldn't make sense if we left the party we wanted to have because we wanted acceptance. "Besides, it's not like we'd have anything to do at home?"
"Hm..." She slid my hands down her back till they rested firmly on her butt. Instantly, I felt the need to blush.
"We could think of something?" She flapped those long black eyelashes at me with a bit of a smile. I laughed at her effort to seduce. She was close to getting me though. Hell, if it wasn't for the previous images of the past Destiny riding Ryder I would have jumped in that car at top speed.
I shook my head, I had to get those evil thoughts out. I walked over to a wall and banged my head against it in hopes that would help.
"What are you doing?"
"I keep seeing our identity thieves having sex. I have to make it go away."
Destiny squished her body between the wall and I. I frowned and she pouted.
"They look just like us, right?"
I nodded, "Just different eyes and hair."
"Then..." She placed my hands on her soft breasts and glanced up at me, lips slightly agape. "Give the guy blond hair and blues eyes and make the girl's eyes black, not blue... Then think about it."
Before I could allow my mind to consider the thought I let her go and rushed in the direction of the hall our families were partying in.
"I feel the need to dance! Right now!" My voice squeaked as I rushed to the doors.
Destiny chuckled behind me but followed.
Unfortunately for me, the song that was filling the sound system was J. Holiday's "Bed". How freaking beautiful. I mean, why would anybody play this!? I was about ready to punch the DJ when Destiny took my arm.
"You wanted to dance right?"
"A-actually, I changed my mind," I shrugged quickly. "Aw, too bad, I know. Let's eat!"
"I wanna dance," she pouted.
Ha! I wasn't going to fall for that. I was not going to have her use me and then make her mother beat me to a pulp.
"You could always dance with somebody else," I patted her head and walked over to my parents. I was not going to have there be anymore rumours about us.
"Fine." She marched past me and went automatically to Axel. With a smile and a hair flip she took his hands.
"Dance with me Axel!"Before he could protest, she swept him up and gestured for the DJ to change the song.
Destiny hugged him tight but kept her eyes on me.
There was a strange sound from the speakers, but Destiny's eyebrows raised. I took it she knew the song. But that wasn't bothering me as much as how her hand was caressing the back of Axel's head.
"I know that we are young," she mouthed along with the song. "And I know that you may love me. But I just can't be with you like this anymore."
Now, the voice may have said "Alejandro" but Destiny insisted on using "Roxas." Then the actual music started and Destiny just swayed her hips and smiled brightly at Axel. I could feel my eyebrow twitch as she twirled in his arms. I felt bad for Axel though, being used by Destiny to strike up jealousy in me. For his sake, I wouldn't let it get to me. I knew he felt awkward so I was not going to make it worse. No, no, no, no, no, no, no--
"Are you really okay with Destiny grinding up on him like that?" I heard Destiny's cousin Tetsuya in my ear. "It's like they're having sex on the dance floor."
I stood up and took Tetsuya's hand, "Let's dance!"
I didn't give her a chance to say anything before I pushed through the other teens on the dance floor to get close to Destiny. My body moved in rhythm with the beat but my eyes glared at Destiny. I could see her glaring back and turned her back to Axel and rubbed her back against his chest.
"So she wants to be a flirt, huh?" I smirked and stepped behind Tetsuya, taking her hips moving them along with mine. It must have looked awkward considering that she was taller than me but as long as Destiny was jealous, nothing mattered.
"Ah, pervy dance moves..." I heard Tetsuya laugh. "That's one point to the vampire."
I couldn't help but chuckle at that. Destiny caught us laughing together and I guess that's what made her snap.
She dragged Axel closer and heaved him toward Tetsuya. Seconds later she fisted my suit with a glare.
"Play it again."
"Excuse me?" I asked her. Play what again?
Her head turned to the DJ, "Play it again."
There was this scary feeling that she was suddenly giving off. In fear, the man re-started the song which nobody seemed to mind considering that Destiny was being more scary than usual. There was no mouthing from her at all. She simply slipped out of her shoes and rolled her head over and over again. I wasn't too sure of what she was going to do. I'd seen her upset but it was always loud and obnoxious.
"Do you remember that one dance, Mama taught us Selena?" She grinned toward her older sister.
"Of course!" She grinned, detaching herself from a man. She slipped out of her heels and talked to the center with Destiny.
"Heh, I remember practising it every day," Selena laughed. "I wanted to get as good as Mama."
"Same..." Destiny shot her sister a challenging smile. "Let's see if all that practising worked."
Selena laughed, "You start then."
Destiny pointed at me and began her mouthing yet again.
"She's got a halo around her finger, around you."
She kept up her lip-singing and her dramatic faces until the chorus camera through. Unfortunately for me, only the pointing stopped. Her eyes kept me locked in as her body moved in sync with Selena. There dance steps were the same with the breast pumping, slight pelvis thrusting, spinning, bends, and even the hair flips.
By the time the chorus was over, Piper was joining Selena on the dance floor while Destiny strutted about in the room, chanting out the lyrics with her playful cousins and dancing besides my stiff ones.
"This is the only reason why I don't like vampires," Tetsuya muttered. "They never move."
"T'-that's not true!" I chimed up. I couldn't just let her bash my family, even if she was Destiny's most respected cousin.
"Oh really?" She gestured toward Destiny who was spinning around Cloud as he stood some what amused. It was hard to tell with him.
"Cloud's different," I groaned. Thanks for nothing Cloud. Here I am trying to defy one of the stereotypes and you're there living it.
"I gotta warn you though, Roxas," She'd learned my name? Heh, strange. "If you hurt her, I will throw you in the sun but before you die, retract you, slice your throat open, pull out your intestines and hide them all over South America and Africa."
With broadened eyes and I newly found fear, I gawked at the sneering demon. It was bad enough having her father hate me but now I had the threat of Tetsuya over my head. Of course it scared me but it bothered me to. Why did everybody think I was going to hurt Destiny? It was like they had no faith in me. What was worse was they talked about her like she was some sort of angel. Hell, she'd hurt me more times than I hurt her but when I tried to get my revenge, I was scolded.
Out of the blue, I heard a smack and suddenly felt a sharp pain at the back of my head. I focused back on Tetsuya who motioned toward Destiny.
"Snap out of the gaze, man, she's coming."
I rolled my eyes and muttered to myself about how unfair I was being treated. Why did I have to be the bad one? What the heck did I do wrong?
"Is the headache back?" Destiny rushed for me, taking my hand and staring up with wide eyes.
I took a quick side glance at Tetsuya who whistled innocently.
"Yeah..."I finally groaned.
"Let's go outside and make it better."
"But it's raining," I said. "You'll get sick."
"I don't care," She smiled. "I want to make Roxas better."
I hated it when she talked like that. All sweet and sincere. Of course it started out cute but she'd have me undressed two seconds later with that tone.
I could hear another song slowing and decided to distract her considering the dance floor was clearing.
"Dance with me and I promise to go anywhere you like."
"Promise?" She questioned.
I nodded, "Promise."
She smiled slightly and I took her hand, leading her to the floor. Just as we reached it, I heard the sounds of One Republic's "All The Right Moves." Perfect; it wasn't too slow or too fast. I took her hand and rested the other on her waist while she lazily positioned hers on my neck. It wasn't long before I was leading with a few steps. Destiny's face was blushing a wild shade of red when her eyes averted from mine.
I stepped in a bit closer, "Only look at me, okay?"
She chuckled, "You don't need to get jealous."
"Hm," I pulled us a part and gave her a quick spin before heaving her back in. "I don't get jealous."
She wrapped both arms around my neck and suddenly the steps became fewer and fewer until it was just the two of us moving in harmony.
"Did I ever tell you how bright your eyes are," she whispered and placed her forehead against mine. "They're almost blinding."
"At least my eyes aren't empty holes," I smirked. "I swear, sometimes you look like the mom from Coraline."
"Touché," She smiled softly and hugged me.
"You're beautiful."
"W-what?" She laughed nervously. "Don't say dumb stuff like that Roxas."
"Yeah..." I mumbled as we swayed. She smelt really nice, like lavender. She looked really nice. She was just so... nice.
I was humming along to the song and probably a little too loud to realize when finally ended.
"I don't mean to bother you," I heard her say. "But my mom and your dad are calling us."
I glanced back, she was right. They were standing by the doors with looks of urgency. Sighing, I took Destiny's had and together we walked to them.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"There's something we have to tell you," Destiny's mother said in a whisper. I noticed she had a hand gripping on to my father's wrist and the other close to her mouth. I have to say, I felt uneasy looking at them. Not only was it because they were both married to others and acting this way. The other reason was because I felt as if I was looking into my future. I felt like in a couple more years this would be what we'd become.
It freaked me out.
"Shall we talk outside?" My father suggested. Destiny and I nodded and followed them into the hall. We didn't walk very far so I took it this conversation wasn't too big of a deal.
"So what's up?" Destiny asked.
"We just wanted to tell you that we approve of this fully," My father smiled but it was only slight. I could tell he was trying to ooze us into something unsettling.
"And...?" I asked.
"Roxas!" Destiny punched my arm. "Don't be rude! Your father was just so kind to you and then you act like a complete--"
"There's more," Destiny's mother mumbled.
"Thoughts so..." My eyes drifted to Destiny who avoided me rudely.
"We wanted to just let you know that we aren't using you two," She said.
"Using us?" Destiny repeated.
"For what?" I asked.
My father spoke up, "To see each other again."
Author's Note:
Another crappy chapter. It was all in Roxas' point of view. Strange... I really didn't mean for that to happen. XD
Oh, and the title is from "I've Seen It All" by Bjork and Thom Yorke from the soundtrack "Selmasongs" from the movie "Dancer In The Dark." It's a really sad but worth watching movie. It's about ten years old but still,
absolutely beautiful and worth seeing.
MEH. I'm getting lazy.
Anyway, thanks for the new review :D
So... Let's add to that and read and review!
